I've noticed that not all roms put what spl we should have, so is it safe to assume that 1.33.2005 good for the rom?
The rom I'm looking at is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574526
Yes! Tried it myself
I think it's good for all roms, actually it might even be a prerequisite for all hero roms except micro hero.
Not 100 % sure of the latter though.
I just tried flashing the hero rom and it flashed just fine but after it got passed the mt3g splash it just repeated the hero and htc splash, I'm back on cyanogen, any ideas on how to get it working?
Did you wipe before you flashed? Also, the first boot can take a few minutes.
If it's neither lack of wipe or lack of patience I have no idea
It's lack of patience lol. I'll try flashing it again and wait this time.
Okay, well it's not lack of patience unless waiting 1 hour isn't long enough. Any body else have some ideas to get this working?
Kaptur mentioned it, but did you wipe before applying the update.zip ?
Yes I did.
Then I recommend you try another ROM, maybe evil D:'s sense/nano sense as apparently thats quick/stable.
it has to be a bad download or you need to wipe a couple more times I've wiped and it still did a boot loop before so try wiping at least3 times and /or try a new rom
I flashed 2 different heros after that, 1 of them i got the splash loop and evil's worked.
I usually find if a wipe then flash doesnt work, I just repeat the same procedure i.e pull battery, wipe and reflash then boot does the trick.
If all else fails repartition card and then flash, and if that doesnt work, i guess that rom isnt for you.
Im having this problem with nano sense.
I always wipe completely and recreate all partitions if im running a hero rom
Wouldn't recreating the partitions get rid of my apps? If not, I might try that.
Hello, I have had my evo for about a month and over the last week or two my phone constantly reboots and crashes. It sometimes gets stuck in boot loops and i haveto yank the battery. it seems to happen most frequently during the browser or market apps. I cannot figure why it is doing this!!!!
my phone is rooted and this has been happening on multiple ROMS including CM6, AVA froyo, baked snack, and fresh EVO.
I have wiped:
cashe
DATA
full factory reset
Dalvik Cache
battery stats adn rotate settings
I have triedmultiple batteries and SDcardsi have tried an 8GB and 16GB and reformatted both
any other ideas?
Which ROM and kernel are you using? Your description sounds like an overclock or under voltage issue. Do you get the same behaviour with the stock ROM & kernel?
Right now I am Ava froyo v7 I have used cyanogenmod Ava froyo v6 as well as baked snack 1.5-7 and fresh 3.0.1 and 3.2 same with all
I have use the stock kernel and still get rebooting with stock speeds and 400mhz
I had VERY similar problems to you (rooted, no matter what ROM I would use (even rooted stock) I would get reboots). Usually after yanking the battery I'd get a good 2 or 3 minutes, and then, particularly when using the browser, I would get a reboot. Then reboots would repeat in perpetuity. I even tried unrooting and going back to complete stock, no luck.
Note there is a thread about a code to fix some problems with GPS -- this didn't fix my problem, but it might fix yours.
So just today I took my Evo back to a Sprint store, convinced them it was a problem, they tried doing the complete RUU flash, and the reboots happened again (yay!)...and they gave me a "new refurb".
So I'm currently rooting the new refurb.

Could it possibly be that I am not reapplying the stock kernel before flashing a new rom how log did it take you to get a new phone?
First of all what root method did you use and did you root 2.2 or root 2.1 then upgrade to a prerooted 2.2 rom.
And if you are not following the rom install instructions to a T and are wondering why you are getting reboots then frankly wtf do you expect.
I said that because you said you were not flashing the stock **** before flashing the rom.
Typically this is not needed unless the rom creator SPECIFICALLY states it is needed.
First of all you are using some very nonstandard Rom's. Start by completely wiping and removing any custom sdcard formatting and reformat your sdcard on your pc.
It has been said and proven many times that a bad sdard can screw with your phone and make some crazy **** happen.
Then go back to the STOCK 2.2 ODEXED, not deodex, the point is to get as close to retail as possible without losing root.
Then see what happens.

Started with 2.1 1.47 OTA update and Jane followed all instructions to the dot and I have re reformated my sdcard several times with windows for both the 8 gb and the 16 gb which both work great on my droid ( which I did reformat between moving them to a new phone) I also tried using no sdcard and no difference ill try going back to stock rom but I have always been using ava froyo and baked snack but now I'm getting problems with any romI use
I am using swype so sorry for any wrong words. Any way I was also using clockwork recovery for a while and it was apparently not wiping dalvik etc. Correctly so I thought that was why it was crashing so I switched to amon Ra recovery and its still crashing so could it have caused permanent damage that can't be fixed by just wiping everything with amon Ra
Clockwork didn't cause damage...flash stock 2.2...flash stock kernel...do a factory reset...and report back...
So I was trying to go from comrom to OMFGB nightlies, and didn't know you have to go to OMBG first. When I tried to do that. I odined the ED05 modem, then flashed OMFGB, then the GAPPS. It wouldn't work, and then I read I had to flash a new kernel, so I flashed the Glitch high leakage. Then it started to work, but after it went to the boot screen, it went to a new CMW, blue, and tried to install GAPPS? I think that's what it was doing, but it went really quickly, and said something like it couldn't mount the sd card, which is weird. So I took out the sd card, and it said waiting for mount, or something similar. I put it back in, but it wouldn't work. So then, I flashed back to UKB with the pb&j kernel, to see if I could get things going from there. It booted fine, but when I tried to just flash OMFGB, it would go to the boot screen, and then go back to CWM. So I tried to go back to UKB, and then it did the same thing, didn't change the boot screen at all (so now it's stuck with Galaxy S Cyanogen mod boot screen). I tried to flash OMBG then, but it was still going back to CWM. I'm thinking about odining the eclair package, and then trying from there. What do you think. Oh and usually I go to android central, but they don't have OMFGB nightlies there, so here I am.
TL;DR: I flashed a bunch of GB stuff in what I assume to be in the wrong order, now I'm stuff. Help me?
EDIT:After flashing a bunch of stuff, I don't remeber what or what order, just that the Glitch was last, I managed to get it to boot, first with a glitch boot screen, then the android boot screen. I'm not sure what I'm on, I think it is OMGB, at least that is what the widget says when I booted it up. I'm really confused. Anyways, I think I got it.
EDIT2:Nope, stuck at the boot to CWM loop. I'm going to try to go back to UKB (froyo) through that sticky in dev
EDIT3:Well I'm waiting for it to download, so what I did that worked was flash OFGB in red CWM, weird, but it worked. I'm leaving it at that for now, cause nobody is replying.
While I'm glad you got things to work, you should probably start from scratch if things start to get weird again. I highly recommend this thread as the proper way to go from CM7/MIUI/OMFGB back to stock, and from there back to whatever you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
Remember that when you flash stock DL09 or EB01 or ED05, you also have to have the atlas 2.2 pit file and "repartition" checked in ODIN.
Finally, while you still have things working, I recommend you do a nandroid backup. If you need to go all the way back to stock before coming back to gingerbread, you can do an Advanced Restore > Data Restore in order to get your apps and such back pretty painlessly.
Yeah thanks, that's the sticky I was talking about. I didn't know about the re-partition button having to be checked, thanks for that And the Data restore is through CWM? I assume so. And for that, I just need a regular nandroid backup?
Yes, in CWM you can choose backup and restore, and then do a system backup.
When you want to go back to a given setup (i.e. your apps, widgets, etc.) you can do an advanced restore where you choose to restore just data, and not the whole nandroid system backup.
That's pretty cool, I never new about that. So I tried the *228 1 and 2 thing, cause I couldn't download the beta swype, and I thought it I needed too, but it said my phone couldn't be activated, and to try again, then the I lost all signal. I rebooted, and it came back, but I couldn't activate it again. It's being weird still, and in the morning, I'm starting over like you suggested. I'm still receiving calls though, and I get good connection. For the morning, I was wondering if I could just check to see if I have everything I need. I have:
CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar.md5 from the thread you posted for odin
OMGB 1.2.0
OMFGB nightly build 7/21
Glitch High leakage v11.1
The CWM for all roms (red)
lithid gapps (unless you think the other gapps is good)
and I think that is it. I don't have the atlas 2.2 pit file, can I just search here for that? Thanks for all the help
EDIT:Found the atlas 2.2, and I use that at the same time as the md5 file, right?
EDIT2:Okay, I tried to do a nandroid backup, but with the CWM recovery 4.0.1.0 (I think that's what it is), it didn't show anything, like it said backing up system, then it didn't show what part it was backing up, and the status bar stayed blank, then it moved on to data after a while, and that. It said it failed to back up sd-ext, which I'm guessing is why it wasn't working properly. I'm doing the odin restore to froyo, and if someone could tell me the correct order to install/flash/odin stuff to get to the OMFGB nightlies, that would be amazing!
EDIT3:I think I did it right. Odined to froyo, Odined the ED05 modem, Odined the CWM for CM7, flashed CM7, Rebooted, Flashed Glitch Kernel, then Flashed OMFGB nightly build 7/23. I still need to do gapps though.
EDIT4:I did gapps, and almost everything looks good. I can't activate my phone through *228 1, and when I try to set up my google account, it says it couldn't establish a reliable connection to the servers. And After I call to activate my phone, my service goes dead. I can still text and receive calls though
EDIT5:man, a lot of editing. I flashed OMGB 1.2.0 on top, and now I can set up my google account. Still not activating though :/
Unrelated question, how come sometimes my wifi and signal bars are grey, sometimes blue (I'm using cyanbread)? I think when they are grey, I'm not using signal? How do I make them blue?
Hey guys,
I have successfully gotten rdannar's CM7 2.3.5 onto my bravo and is working FANTASTICALLY! [Thanks rdannar, truly amazing work]
I have the problem that everyone else is having, the brightness issue. Also, I am not a huge fan of GO SMS. Is there a way to get the stock SMS back on the phone? Or are we stuck with it?
I also wanted to know if it was possible for me to go from CM7 2.3.5 to GingerBlur 2.3.4? I know its a downgrade, and when I tried it the first time, I was left with a phone to sbf back to stock. I like CM7, but the brightness and Texting apps just aren't for me.
Thanks guys.
You could also download hand cent SMS.
You can try flashing , directly, but there's a good chance you will have to data wipe on the way... I finally bought titanium backup...
Well I tried to do it a couple days ago, but to no avail. I got stuck with a phone I had to SBF and then re-work to get on CM7. True pain. But I got it working.
Just trying to feather the waters and see which one is better, GingerBlur, or CM7?

More stuff works in the ginger blur than CM7 at the moment. I liked a lot of the possibilities of cm7, but it's not write there. Having tried then all, i'm currently ruining the miui port add the must stable, but with some nice options ...
Well i cant get miui flashed or gingerblur flashed.

You're like the only one. Maybe you're not following instructions right?
Every time i try, it goes into a bootloop. Can you get me a step by step guide?
Are you doing a full system wipe before boot

Yes, I've wiped dalvik cache, wiped data/ factory reset, and wiped cache partition. I'm using bandroidx's Moto Bravo Bootstrapper, might that be the problem?
okay so yes...im a noob, or atleast i consider myself one. heres my problem, i jumped into rooting and flashing head first, without researching EVERYTHING, ENTIRELY, so im at fault, i know this guys.
so heres the just of it, i have the mt4g aka htc glacier. i wanted to root, and flash a custom rom. i have a thing for sense 3.0 so i flashed virtuous fusion, now i never checked or learned how to figure out if i have a bad emmc? i through caution to the wind and here i am with no phone.
okay so its installed everythings good no glitches running smooth. my girl downloads mad bull**** into the phone and it starts running SLOW, real slow. i think hmm, factory data reset? earse everything yes i know this is unrevesable. phone goes black. remove battery reinstall, turn on, myotuch 4g then htc sense boot screen, then boot loop, then boot loop, then blakc screen unresponsive until battery pull.
cleared cached partition, wiped dalvik cache tried reinstalling viruous fusion from zip, same problem, not sure where i saved my nadroid backup unable to find it
so basicly guys, without gettin chewed out, am i a total ****ing moron? and is there hope....
also i saw a simalr thread unanswered there was a suggerstion to instal some file with a random jumble of letters and numbers as the name, however idk how to do so without being able to access my sd card with the phone i dont have a spare phone or way to put sd card in laptop please help me someone
SOLVED, not sure how i fixed it but i think its because, i first deleted everything i could form clockwork, then went to advanced deleted cache system and something else reflashed now its working...no complaints, however i read on another forum that virtuous fusion is known for brick devices upon factory data resets
Virtuous Fusion is a very outdated ROM.
Use Virtuous Unity.

well there's a lesson learned...
never EVER do a factory reset within a ROM... lol
btw, when you went to recovery, did it show any errors?
like "E:/ Can't find ..."?
